CG loss

Anytime you hear of another roadside bomb or another life lost in the Middle East (or anywhere), you instantly cringe and your heart sinks. The Coast Guard does serve over there and its is rare for one of the members to get hurt or killed, but it does happen. Two days ago we lost 4 members of the Coast Guard in a helicopter crash off of Alabama. They were in a training exercise and in the blink of an eye they were gone. I have unfortunately been to a Coast Guard funeral and it is such an emotionally difficult experience. I can't imagine what is is like for the spouses, kids, parents and families. My thoughts and Prayers go out to them. When my husband finally comes home I will remember that anything could happen to him while he is out there serving our country.

Thank you to those of you who serve and sacrifice, including the families of ALL military branch members! God Bless you!

Stay Calm

My family and my friends know that I love selling Thirty-One! Most of them know that I am also obsessed with "Pinterest"! Its a fun website that connects you to some of your favorite websites and blogs via "pinboards" that keep all your favorite ideas together in one place. Lately there have been a collection of "Carry On" signs with different themes. I thought I'd make one dedicated to Thirty-One! Enjoy
